What does it take to live a simpler life? Where do you start?

Here is the link to a recording from my Simple Life segment on ABC Radio this week. Evenings presenter, Trevor Jackson and I explore my five tips for ways to simplify.

Here’s a brief summary:

1. Live with intent: live consciously: give value to simplicity: make time to change.

2. Want less: be happy with less: share or gift surplus: make a conscious choice to live with less.

3. Spend less: purchase quality items: avoid big stores : buy second hand : make things last.

4. Grow food: eat local: choose simple food: eat together: zero waste: take lunch or a picnic.

5. Make time to do more ‘real’ things – grow, make, cook, do, explore, adventure, build …unplug and really connect.

If you want change to happen, ask “If not me, then who? If not now, when?”
